I took Beachy Hitler and cut some bangs in it. I thought I’d document that in a post, because it felt very very strange to cut bangs in a wig. Frankly, the only bangs I’ve ever cut were for my Barbies, and it was usually after I amputated their feet so they could stand naturally. However, I was a little proud of the very subtle non-Barbie bangs, so I thought I woukd make a blog post on that topic.
That post became a post on how I cannot take a good photo now that I am six months into my sixties.
But the first iPhoto filter I used was the one for contour lighting.
Jesus. This was also the last one I tried, because it scared me. However, my shiny chin made me think of an ad I had seen last weekend. So now this post is about that ad:
This is an ad for “COSRX” which must be a skin serum, because it exhorted me to “Get that Glazed-Donut-Glow — “
What? I am expected to glow like a donut?
” — with Snail Mucin.”
For the first few minutes I had not full absorbed the concept of Donut Skin and I read that last part as “Small Mucin.” I though it was a scientific term. “Small Mucin, not like large Mucin like what they make Mucinex from.”
But. No. “SNAIL Mucin.” 1) SNAIL 2) Mucin, I suppose because Snail Mucus would be too much after they made me choke down Glazed Donuts. Now with more snail!
I mean, I feel bad about my appearance, but not so bad that looking like a glazed donut would be preferable, snail mucus or not.

When I was in Seoul – they are HUGELY into skincare in S Korea – I was given a pouch of snail-sourced face pack stuff that I’m afraid to use, despite being tempted by the possibility of youthfully glowing skin. I mean, have you ever got snail slime on your fingers while gardening? That stuff NEVER washes off.
Big Dot – Truth! A snail left a trail on mom’s sidewalk and it was still there 35 years later. I also read Mucin is a specific excretion of stressed snails. I assume they put the snails under a work deadline.

“So, if you don’t produce enough by the deadline, this is your immediate future…”
(also, I think the first picture is fine. Yes, your eyes have some wrinkles, but you look both friendly and clever, which is impressive to manage.)
KC – what a nice thing to say!
